Casino Club Presents: Richard Berry Combo Live Session

Richard Berry & The Soul Searchers

Amoeba Review

05/01/2013

This is sophisticated, swingin' soul jazz recorded live in front of an audible audience; you can easily imagine the visuals: dark room, candlelight, nattily dressed couples enjoying fancy cocktails, etc. The stripped-down combo of keyboards, drums, and the occasional horn or backing vocals keep things sparse and classy as they swing from the proto-acid jazz of "Get That Church" to the Northern Soul stomper that is "Girl You Don't Know Me" to the sultry, slow funk of "Something You've Got." Sounds like a night out for grown-ups!
